"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the
animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel
nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest
lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)

Cornerstone Baptist Church founder Pastor John Hagee blasted the U.S.
Supreme Court this week for a “naked judicial power grab” over its
recent decision legalizing same-sex marriage. In his first comments on the marriage ruling, Hagee warned that the Supreme Court had become a “threat to American democracy.”“We are entering an era of judicial tyranny,” he explained. “This
ruling is a direct attack on states’ rights. This ruling prohibits
states from defining marriage as an institution consisting of one man
and one woman. This naked judicial power grab by the court is at odds
with our system of government.”Hagee argued that the U.S. Supreme Court could not override the
“Supreme Court in heaven,” which had decided in a 3-1 ruling that
“same-sex marriage will never be accepted in heaven as legitimate.”“This Supreme Court has made America the new Sodom and Gomorrah,” he
added. “God will have to judge America or is going to have to apologize
to Sodom and Gomorrah.”According to the pastor, the Bible commanded Christians to disobey
laws that went against God’s will. To make his point, he compared
same-sex marriage to a story in Exodus in which Pharaoh commands that all male Hebrew babies be killed at birth. “The Bible clearly says that the Egyptian midwives gave birth to the
Jewish children, defied Pharaoh by not reporting it and God blessed them
for defying Pharaoh because God says thou shall not kill,” Hagee
remarked. “That’s a Bible illustration of obeying the word of God over
the government.”“Whenever the state demands what God condemns, stand up against it,” he continued. “This is the standard of righteousness.”..................
